Wednesday, 17 August 2022

2-time champion Warren, and Ojeda, last at Bathurst after connection failure.

Dayne Warren picked up the 2^nd last-place finish in the 2022 eSeries championship, while Jayden Ojeda picked up the 1^st, when their #2 NTI/Mobile 1 Holden finished under power, on the lead lap at Bathurst.

Wayne Bourke and Thomas Randle in the #55 Castrol Ford started the race in the rear, but it was a scrap early on with Matt McLean and Ric Kuznetsov in the #38 Pizz Hut Holden and

Jordan Sinni and Michael Caruso in the #6 Monster Energy Ford had a massive flip at the end of Lap 1, turned by the #98, dropping him to last.

Shortly afterwards Luke Rosella and Clay Richards in the #24 Shannons Ford crashed with Cameron Crick and Brady Meyers in the #38 Pizza Hut Holden, dropping the #38 to last, with the #24 just in front. Richards and Rosella would drop to last by Lap 6.

Lap 8 saw Jaden Ojeda in the #2 NTI/Mobil 1 Holden disconnect, dropping the duo to last.

An Echidna on the track caused a Safety Car on Lap 16. Jake Boyd* and Jake Moloney in the #98 BP Ultimate Ford pitted and fell to 2nd last on the restart due to not fuelling the car enough, but managed to hold Dayne Warren back for the rest of the race by 3/10ths of a second.

The final four of the Bottom Five were Jordan Boys and Jackson Souslin-Harlow in the #96 Automotive Superstore/tools.com Holden, Jordan Cox and Jobe Stewart in the #30 Swyftx Holden and James Golding and Emily Jones in the #31 Pioneer DJ Ford.

How Juniorgeneric defines a Last-Place finisher

Australian V8 LASTCAR'S Official Definition of a "Last-Place Finisher" (LPF)

For the purposes of the Australian V8 LASTCAR championship rankings and statistics, a "Last-Place Finisher" (LPF) is a driver(s) who, after qualifying for a V8 Supercars Championship Points-Paying race, the result must be confirmed from official sources, or unofficial sources failing that. Only one driver (or two in a endurance race) can be classified as the LPF for that race.

Meeting those requirements, the LPF can be any driver classified as such for any reason, including, but not limited to.
1) A "did not start" although it should be noted that there is a difference between my definition of "did not start" and Brock Beard's definition of "Did not Start".
For example, in Bathurst 2015 Chazz Mostert and Cameron Waters' #6 Pepsi Max Ford had a huge accident during practice that injured Mostert and all but wrote off the car. Car #6 was withdrawn, and therefore I don't count Mostert and Waters as finishing last. Under Brock Beard's definition, however, Mostert and Waters would have finished last instead of David Wall and Chris Pither.
2) An entrant who encounters an event once the race has started which prevents the driver(s) from finishing ahead of any other qualified entrants, including both DNFs and drivers who finish under power but laps down*

*Only when all the cars in the race are running ahead of the LPF

3) A decision to “start and park” the driver’s entry (Extremely rare in V8 Supercars)
(4) a disqualification handed down by V8 Supercars and/or track officials that subsequently classifies the driver(s) in the final position behind the unofficial LPF.

Australian V8 LASTCAR shall not consider the LPF as anything else, including but not limited too
1) Any DNQ's
2) Any driver's who's car withdrew before the race start.
3)The lowest-ranked driver who finishes the race under power (unless all cars finished under power, actually quite common in V8 Supercars)
4) A driver(s) who finished last initially, however post-race disqualifications usurped the spot.
5) A driver(s) who may be catagorised as finishing last for exhibition events (I may bring these back at some point in the near future, I need more accurate numbers for the events before I start them up again)
6) Anything in non-V8 Supercar Main game (again, insufficent historical data)
7) A driver who was running last when the checkered flag fell, however because they greeted the checkered flag but a drive who was in front of them at the end of the race, however was not running at the end of the race. In that instance the driver who doesn't finish the race will fall behind the driver whom is still running at the end of the race.

In the rare event where official results or a preponderance of unofficial results are later updated with more accurate information about who was the LPF for that event, Australian V8 LASTCAR rankings and statistics shall be updated to reflect that change.
